I haven't gotten to writing about it on the wiki (because life) but Lillith was conscripted into the group that went to fight Leviathan. I did this because I wanted a major event to happen to Lillith that would change her outlook on certain things about life and I figured facing off against a primal would, you know, kinda get one thinking about things. Now, in the story line, there is mention of gathering a group to undertake this fight, and I believe the Company of Heros went up again leviathan Levibeetus, beat him themselves and avoided being tempered.
So, my question then is this: Based on everything we've been talking about here, is it bunk to say Levi just didn't try to temper anyone during that fight? Or, could it be written that because the seven other people in the fight were in the presence of Hyadelyn's chosen, they received a sort of blanket protection?
Sorry if the question is a bit off topic!
I think it'd be best to say Leviathan didn't try to temper/drown them in particular. (Maybe he just wanted to kill them, didn't feel like it, etc). But if the Echo protected others like a Blanket, then we probably wouldn't have gotten Tam-Tara Hard Mode. (For those that know its story)
